Welcome to the Hunt Backcountry Podcast. Today we are talking about how to thrive on a backcountry hunt. Thriving is about ensuring you have the capabilities, the confidence, the knowledge, the experience, and more.

To go into a long mountain hunt and to make the most of it, to match your capabilities,

perhaps even exceed what you thought you were capable of and more.

And it's a process, it's a journey to get there. It's not about one event, it's not about one aspect. It is a cumulative effort over years to continue to develop as a hunter.

And we're talking about these topics in a very conversational way.

It's myself, Steve, and our friend Ben Reynolds,

who is a very experienced and high-level sheep hunter from Alaska.

You may recognize the name, and if you listen to the show, you know he's been a guest in the

past.

We wanted to explore this topic, the three of us, and just see where it went.

We turned the mics on and just had this big picture topic of how to thrive in the mountains and on backcountry hunts

and hit record and just saw where the conversation took us.

And it was great.

I'm actually excited to listen back to this one myself because I certainly had some takeaways and I know you

will as well.

So I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Before we kick that off, I just want to remind you guys that your support means the world to us.

We don't have any advertisers or sponsors or anything like that.

We're not trying to monetize the show, but we do want it to continue to be successful and to grow and the best way you can help us do that is just by leaving a rating or review in your podcast app where you can or sharing the show directly with a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to do that.

Let's dive into this conversation about how to be able to experience these awesome high adventure,

just badass backcountry hunts at a very high level.
